Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land close to Gover Farm, St Agnes, Cornwall. The project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises three arable fields to the northeast of Gover Farm, approximately 2.6km south of St. Agnes. The site occupies the southwest facing slope of a hill and the gradiometer survey covered 17.2ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response, numerous former field boundaries and a disused and dismantled railway. At least three phases of field system are visible in the geophysical data along with probable enclosures and small cut features of probable archaeological interest. There is a wide spread of geological responses towards the east that may obscure other archaeological features. The geophysical survey was undertaken between the 30th September and the 4th October 2013. |
